(A Typeface)
Dimension is a monospace typeface, designed for icons and display. Inspired by impossible objects, Dimension warps the perspective of the viewer and distorts the perception of the three dimensions. The optical illusion is present in this typeface, drawing upon the ambiguity of three dimensional drawings such as the Necker cube, much like Impossible Cube dichtomy. The letters of Dimension each occupy the same amount of space, with the same amount of kerning between the letters. This monospace rule assists in the scientific nature of Dimension, adding both clinical and technologic qualities to this display font.
